7-9-25: my 46th finished book of 2025! It‘s been a good year of memoir reading for me. I‘ve loved Al Pacino since as far back as I can remember. The Godfather was on in my house constantly. I‘ve been following his career and to be able to hear about it in his own words really brought it to life. Rough upbringing, sick mom, South Bronx lifestyle and through it all he became a movie star. He doesn‘t seem full of himself. He just loves his art.
